Ren Suo didn't expect that the battle scene in the second level was actually inside a famous scenic building, which gave him a great advantage - it would be better if the enemy was an artistic Frenchman.
Through the experience of the first level, Ren Suo knew that the seeker was not completely deceived by the Gate of Truth. He could use words to arouse the seeker's reason, such as using Ren Han's gossip to make Yun Wangshu lose his fighting spirit.
Seekers of knowledge are not enemies who cannot control themselves; they still have a certain amount of reason.
As for Notre Dame de Paris, a building with unparalleled historical value, a large collection of artworks, and a national symbol, it is very likely that those who seek knowledge will shrink back or even give up fighting here.
Although he appears in a densely populated area this time, Notre Dame can help him isolate some potential enemies very well.
France's extraordinary people absolutely dare not attack Notre Dame de Paris outside - they will be sprayed to death.
Ren Suo doesn't care about this. After all, he is wearing the vest of a gatekeeper. Whatever happens, he can say "I didn't want it" or "I was just acting in self-defense" - in fact, he only needs to buy time, and the battle is not what he wants.
also.
As the saying goes, he who flirts first is cheap, so the economic losses caused should be compensated by the one who strikes first.
Therefore, Ren Suo has a great advantage in this place. From the perspective of any bystander, the gatekeeper's desire to attack is very low, and bystanders cannot understand the impulse of the seeker, so the combat responsibility will naturally belong to the first.
On the hands-on seeker of knowledge.
However, when Ren Suo saw the seekers appearing one after another in the arcade connecting the main hall and the side hall under the quiet red light of the sunset, he immediately realized that things were not simple.
He is not the only one who has the geographical advantage of Notre Dame de Paris.
Ren Suo currently sees six seekers this time.
A white-bearded man holding a cello case and wearing goggles;
A beautiful dark-haired girl carrying a violin case and wearing a black windbreaker;
A girl in a white dress holding a kitten and carrying a big guitar bag;
Holding two briefcases in both hands, a blond girl with red hair and green clothes;
A strong man carrying a duffel bag;
A bearded man carrying a backpack.
Among these six people, Ren Suo only recognized two.
The white-bearded man wearing goggles, named Kader, is a rank-4 expert in the Wizard Council. His awakening spell is suspected to be of the strengthening type, which can enhance the power and range of bullets. He once used a pistol to produce the effect of an anti-material sniper rifle.
Intranet information evaluates him as a "ultra-long-range assassination weapon," a special agent combatant, and a dangerous element who needs to be monitored as soon as he enters the country.
And he is tone deaf and has no musical talent.
Therefore, there must be no cello in the cello case in Caddell's hand.
By analogy, most of the musical instrument bags held by other people do not contain musical instruments.
The other person Ren Suo recognized was the girl in the white dress.
Ren Suo seemed to have seen her before on the dark side of the moon, but he didn't know the details. She should be a moonlight extraordinary person.
Ren Suo temporarily quit the game and went to the intranet to search for information about extraordinary people from the Wizards Council. After he had a good idea, he returned to the game and preemptively said in English (he only knew this foreign language):
"Kadel, is this the hunter team you formed?"
Kadel looked at the Door of Truth behind Ren Suo and nodded slowly: "I was just going on a pleasant trip with public funds, but I didn't expect to find the best one."
"I have no intention of fighting, Kader." Ren Suo said lightly: "Although your history is not worth mentioning to me, do you want to choose to fight me in this place?"
Kader walked to the main aisle of the church, took out his pistol and shot into the dome of the main hall of the church!
"Everyone is waiting, please leave immediately." He said lightly, and the tourists and believers in the church immediately scattered in fear.
A staff member ran out of the side hall and loudly said something to Kadel in French. Kadel shook his head and opened the cello case with a bang, revealing a fantasy heavy sniper rifle inside that looked like a fire unicorn from a domestic gun battle online game.
"Compared with the secret of life and death, this church is not worth mentioning." Kader picked up the sniper rifle, stared at the Door of Truth and said: "Gatekeeper, do you know what death feels like?"
"I've never heard of it specifically."
"I know," Kader said: "It is the endless nothingness, the sound in the vacuum, the ice in the sun, the water in the water...the end of all life, all memories, and all longings."
"I'm so tempted by what you said." Ren Suo said with a smile.
"Then do you know why I know the taste of death?" Kader took off his goggles and said calmly: "I have died before."
"I know this very clearly, I have died before. Maybe this is just my delusion, because I have never encountered a fatal crisis, or even been seriously injured, and I am standing here well now... But I have indeed died.
, but I completely forgot about it."
"Actually, I don't really care about whether I have died or not. But I do care about who I am."
Kadel raised his sniper rifle and aimed at Ren Suo: "Am I Kadel who has come back from the dead, or am I another soul with Kadel's memory?"
"Let this bullet tell me the answer."
The battle begins!
"Guard the door of truth and defeat all seekers of knowledge until the second essence is ignited!"
"If the protection is successful, the gatekeeper will be rewarded and the truth authority will be further enhanced!"
"The estimated fighting time is 12 minutes!"
The battle time required for the second level is shorter than that of the first level. But according to the principle of gradually increasing the difficulty of the battle, that means... the difficulty of the battle this time is much higher than that of the first level!
Ren Suo activated "Time Wandering" and combined with "The Magician's Wings of Immortality", he turned into a flowing shadow and rushed towards Kader, passing through the energy bullet he shot at his eyebrows!
Five fire beads trigger!
Ren Suo raised his hand and swiped twice in succession, slashing two cross-edges towards Kader!
"Eternal Life Cross Slash"!
At this moment, a barrage of bullets swept past, directly scattering the edge of the Eternal Cross Slash!
Suddenly, a huge golden exclamation mark appeared on Ren Suo's head!
Ren Suo suddenly felt sweaty all over his body, and the sense of crisis in the game even affected his real body!
A thunderous gunshot rang out from the right, and Ren Suo, who had no time to resist, found that he had triggered the "Time Wandering" passive, gained invincibility for one second, and immediately activated the teleportation feather to retreat.
However, as soon as he exited the time roaming state, he found that the ground below cracked, and the marble floor tiles suddenly condensed into an abyss to bite him. At the same time, an arrow of starlight dropped from above and locked onto his skull!
From the left and right sides, two rotating axes flew!
All directions above and below are murderous!
In an instant, Ren Suo had no way to escape!
Ren Suo didn't hesitate at all, and directly activated the teleportation "So close to the end of the world" to avoid this wave of encirclement.
The cooldown time of "So Close to the End" is too long to be used as a common combat skill. Naturally, Ren Suo would not place his hope on teleportation that could only be used once a day, so he chose to use this ability in land reclamation and reconnaissance.
Being reluctant to use skills and props like the Scoia'tael is a strange disease.
Ren Suo had this disease before. He rarely used "So Far" in the game normally. Instead, he looked forward to using this skill to turn things around. However, when he needed to turn things around, he often couldn't think of it.
Got this skill.
Ren Suo has now changed his approach. He will try his best to maximize the value of skills and props. In the wasteland, for every second Ren Suo persists, he can obtain more information and reduce unnecessary repeated challenges, which is very worthwhile.
Ren Suo hid behind the church pillars, and the huge golden exclamation mark was still floating above his head, extremely dazzling.
He turned his head sideways to observe the six Kaders, and activated his "arrogant humility": "Is this the power of the hunter team? As a dramatic acrobatic, you do have something to be proud of."
"Speaking of which, we haven't introduced ourselves to the gatekeeper of the door of truth yet."
The black-haired girl took out an automatic rifle from the violin case and chuckled: "I am Trish, codenamed 'Ranger'."
A girl with red hair and green clothes pulled out two submachine guns from two document bags and pointed the submachine guns at the column where Ren Suo was: "My name is Lai Ruilei, codenamed 'Windrunner'. Please give me your advice."
A girl in a white dress took out a large wooden bow from the guitar case and touched the kitten on her shoulder. There was no arrow in her hand, but when her fingertips were placed on the bowstring, there were stars gathering: "'Moon Priest' Mi"
Lana, send your warm greetings to Yggdrasil."
The strong man carrying a backpack sat directly on the ground, pressed his hands on the ground, and said angrily: "Levi, 'Tide'."
The bearded man who caught the two whirlwind glass flying axes laughed loudly: "Remember this name that will surely be resounding throughout the world, 'King of Apes' Carlock!"
"And me, 'Sniper' Kader!"
Kader raised his sniper rifle, aimed at the column where Ren Suo was, and said proudly: "We are not that group of earth spirits. After countless training and battles, we are a hunter team that has never failed, the ace of the Wizards Council!"
"The exclamation point on your head is the spell of the six of us. As long as one of us observes you, you will become the common target of the six of us!"
"Gatekeeper, I won't make it difficult for you. Just stay there and don't move. Don't force us to open a few holes in your body."
They do have something to be proud of.
After the previous round of attack and defense, Ren Suo had roughly figured out the specific abilities of several of them.
Needless to say, Kader is an ultra-long-range and extremely powerful shot;
Windrunner holding a submachine gun can shoot spiritual energy bullets, directly destroying the "Eternal Cross Slash" that Ren Suo just sent;
A ranger armed with an automatic rifle can perform high-speed, recoilless head-lock shooting;
The starlight bow and arrow shot by the Moon Priest will automatically lock on and shoot down over the enemy;
Tide's ability is to control the earth, to control and kill enemies from the ground without warning;
The Ape King can control two throwing axes that can destroy the aura barrier, and can launch attacks from directions invisible to the enemy.
Kader's name for his team is very appropriate - Hunters.
Hunting humans, they are professionals.
These six people were all defeated by extraordinary beings with high bursts and high output. Unless Ren Suo could subdue more than half of the enemies in an instant, as long as Ren Suo paused for a moment, he would be greeted by the flawless all-round lock just now.
blow.
And because of the structural problems of Notre Dame de Paris, the six of them can easily find a hiding place. In this environment, the six of them long-range attackers have an advantage over Ren Suo!
Ren Suo hid behind the column, and when Kadel approached the Gate of Truth, he rushed over to choke Kadel and break his bones. However, just when he allowed Kadel to review his death as he wished, the attacks from the other hunters instantly tore his body into pieces.
"Failed to ignite the essence."
Returning to the familiar pure white space, Ren Suo pondered for a moment, and soon came up with the correct way to conquer this level——
Defense ability or mobility ability.
As long as the defense is sufficient, these six hunters have nothing to fear, and Suo can kill them one by one without any problem.
Or maybe if he has enough mobility, if Ren Suo can subdue more than three people in an instant, he can also slowly maneuver around them.
If his skin is tough enough, he can blow them up with a golden exclamation mark.
If he's fast enough, the golden exclamation mark won't be able to catch up with him.
Ren Suo thought for a moment and opened the redemption menu.
"The gatekeeper's trading authority has been upgraded!"
"The gatekeeper's emotional relationship value increases by 20%!"
"The Gatekeeper's purchasable spells are further expanded, refined, and expanded!"
"Um……"
The content of the upgrade of trading authority is basically the same as what Ren Suo imagined.
Ren Suo took a look at the relationship list. The only five-digit numbers were still for his parents. Although the value of Dong Chengling's truth points was still less than five figures, they had increased by more than a thousand, and the potential for appreciation was huge.
Opening the spell exchange list, Ren Suo found many more cost-effective spells.
Best of all, every spell has two prices!
"Spell Card: Bright Hero Spell: Completely master Bright's hero ability, the price is 20,000 truth points.
Holy Warrior Transformation: When the Five Wind Pearl is triggered, the gatekeeper will be strengthened by the warrior, and all abilities will reach peak status within 60 seconds, and the price is 8,000 truth points."
Now each spell has a beggar version. This beggar version is at least half the price of the original version, and its effect is slightly weakened. It is basically linked to the bead-turning system, and Ren Suo must turn the beads to trigger these abilities.
But it’s really cheap!
Spells like these with tens of thousands of truth points are half the price and cost thousands!
It doesn't matter if it's linked to the bead-turning system. As long as Ren Suo is willing, he can distract himself and control the bead-turning matrix to trigger the spells he wants when necessary.
The biggest problem is that the four kinds of beads of earth, water, wind and fire can only be equipped with one skill. For example, if Ren Suo is equipped with "Cross Slash of Immortality", he cannot equip "Add Fuel to the Fire" which also takes effect by triggering the five fire beads.
Ren Suo secretly remembered the name Bright. Although he didn't know the specific function of the "Brave Mana" ability, it was worth 20,000 truth points and must be a powerful ability. Then Bright must also be a strong man with great potential.
.If you have a chance, you can make friends with him.
Ren Suo continued to browse the spell list and soon found a powerful spell that could perfectly pass the second level——
"Spell Card: Absolute Blade Armor: Completely master the Black Coffin Demon King's Absolute Blade Armor, the price is 12,000 truth points.
Blade Armor: When the Five Earth Orbs are triggered, the gatekeeper will be protected by blade armor, which will reflect all damage within 5 seconds (he will also be injured), and the price is 4800 truth points."
"The Black Coffin Demon King actually has such a powerful ability?" Ren Suo was a little surprised.
"However, 4800 truth points..."
Ren Suo pondered for a moment and opened the relationship exchange list again.
